scrapheap challenge
Dick also runs an incredible scrappy-wacky build and bodge course on Eco-Engineering at his home on Newhouse Farm. On these course days come and have lunch with Dick and learn about all sorts of alternative technology and engineering concepts. Click below for details:
Whilst he was still serving in the Army, Dick's family persuaded him to audition for C4's 'Scrapheap'. Thanks to his leadership abilities, personality and engineering skills,(and possibly because he had the biggest moustache the series producers had ever seen) Dick was successful, and was catapulted into the world of television as the 'Yellow Team Leader' for six episodes in the first ever series of 'Scrapheap'! He has to date appeared over 30 programmes of Scrapheap Challenge and Junkyard Wars, winning the Scrapheap Challenge trophy in series 3 with his two younger brothers David and Bobby as 'Brothers in Arms', and the Junkyard Megawars trophy in 2003.
